Haggai 1
1 [I am], Haggai, a prophet. I received a message from Yahweh on August 29th, during the second year that Darius was the king [of Persia]. I told this message to Shealtiel’s son Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak’s son Jeshua, the Supreme Priest.
Sa ikalawang taon ni haring Dario, sa unang araw ng ikaanim na buwan, dumating ang salita ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Hagai na propeta para sa gobernador ng Juda na si Zerubabel na anak ni Sealtiel, at sa pinakapunong pari na si Josue na anak ni Josadac, at sinabi,
2 Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, told [me] that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.
“Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo: 'Sinasabi ng mga taong ito, “Hindi pa ito ang panahon para pumunta kami o para itayo ang tahanan ni Yahweh.””
3 Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
At dumating ang salita ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Hagai na propeta at sinabi,
4 “It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
“Ito ba ay ang oras para kayo ay manirahan sa inyong mga sariling tahanan, samantalang ang tahanang ito ay napabayaang wasak?”
5 [I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
Kaya ngayon ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo: 'Isaalang-alang ang inyong mga pamamaraan!
6 You have planted a lot [of seeds], but you are not getting many [crops] to harvest. You eat [food], but you never get enough. You drink [wine], but you are still thirsty. You wear clothes, but you do not stay warm. You earn money, [but things are very expensive], with the result that [it is as though] [MET] [your money disappears because] you are putting it in purses/pockets that have [big] holes in them.”
Naghasik kayo ng napakaraming binhi, ngunit kakaunti ang inyong aanihin; kumain kayo ngunit hindi nabubusog; uminom kayo ngunit nanatiling uhaw. Nagsuot kayo ng mga damit ngunit hindi kayo naiinitan, at ang mga manggagawa ay kumikita lamang ng pera para ilagay ito sa isang sisidlan na puno ng mga butas!'
7 [So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo: 'Isaalang-alang ninyo ang inyong mga kapamaraanan!
8 [Then] go up into the hills, [cut down trees, ] and bring timber [down here], and rebuild my temple. When you do that, I will be pleased, and I will be honored.
Umakyat kayo sa bundok, kumuha ng kahoy, at itayo ninyo ang aking tahanan; at kalulugdan ko ito, at ako ay luluwalhatiin!' sabi ni Yahweh.
9 You expected [to harvest] plenty [of crops], but there were few [crops to harvest]. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil [IDM] quickly. The reason [that happened is that] my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own [beautiful] houses.
'Naghanap kayo ng marami, ngunit masdan ninyo! kaunti ang inyong naiuwi sa tahanan, sapagkat hinipan ko ito! Bakit?' -ito ang pahayag ng Yahweh ng mga hukbo! 'Dahil napabayaang wasak ang aking tahanan, samantlang pinapaganda ng lahat ng tao ang kanilang sariling tahanan.'
10 It is because of what you [are doing] that rain does not fall from the sky, and [as a result] there are no crops.
Dahil dito, ipinagkait ng kalangitan ang hamog sa inyo at ipinagkakait ng lupa ang ani nito.
11 I have caused a (drought/severe lack of rain) on the hills and on your fields. The result has been that your grain [has withered], and your grapevines [MTY] and olive trees [MTY] and all your [other] crops have dried up. [Because of that, ] you and your cattle [do not have enough food], and the hard work that you have done will be for nothing.”
Ipinaranas ko ang tagtuyot sa lupain at sa mga kabundukan, sa trigo at sa bagong alak, sa langis at sa mga inaani sa lupa, sa mga tao at sa mga mababangis na hayop, at sa lahat ng pinaghirapan ng inyong mga kamay!”'
12 Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh our God had said, and they heeded the message that I had given them, because [they knew that] Yahweh our God had sent/appointed me. And the people revered Yahweh.
At si Zerubabel na anak ni Sealtiel at ang pinakapunong pari na si Josue na anak ni Jehozadak, kasama ang lahat ng mga natitirang tao, na sumunod sa tinig ni Yahweh na kanilang Diyos at sa mga salita ni Hagai na propeta dahil isinugo siya ni Yahweh na kanilang Diyos. At kinatakutan ng mga tao ang mukha ni Yahweh.
13 Then [I], Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”
At si Hagai, na mensahero ni Yahweh, ang nagsalita ng mensahe ni Yahweh sa mga tao at sinabi, “'Ako ay kasama ninyo!' —ito ang pahayag ni Yahweh!”
14 [So] Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of our God, the Commander of the armies of angels. They gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.
Kaya pinakilos ni Yahweh ang espiritu ng gobernador ng Juda, si Zerubabel na anak ni Sealtiel, at ang espiritu ng pinakapunong pari na si Joshua na anak ni Jehozadak, at ang espiritu nang lahat ng mga tao na natira, kaya sila pumunta at ginawa ang tahanan ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo na kanilang Diyos,
15 [They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
sa ikadalawampu't apat na araw ng ikaanim na buwan, sa ikalawang taon ng paghahari ni Dario.
